About PLA

Polylactic acid is produced from renewable feedstocks and offers PS-like stiffness and clarity with a compostability story regulators and brands increasingly ask for. Heat resistance and toughness are the design constraints — both addressable with crystallized or blended grades.

Grades we source

  • General-purpose clear grades
  • Injection molding grades
  • Thermoforming / sheet grades
  • Heat-resistant (crystallizing) grades
  • Blends for added toughness

Common applications

  • Compostable food packaging
  • Cold-drink cups and containers
  • Rigid consumer packaging
  • Foodservice ware
  • 3D printing filament feedstock
